It still visualises the number of edits created from each country, but gives us a much better sense of the scale of the differences in contributions. In particular, it really highlights how much participation we’re seeing from Egypt.

As I mentioned in the last post, we’re working on a paper that aims to explain some of these inequalities, and I’ll post a draft of it as soon as possible.
